I hate to break it to you, but that's a male spider and you're gay.

[–] lessthanluigi@lemmy.sdf.org 38 points 2 days ago (2 children)

And this story is real, so it is Real AND Gay!

[–] Comment105@lemm.ee 6 points 1 day ago

I've never heard of such a thing. Is it really possible?

[–] MrLLM@ani.social 12 points 1 day ago

I’ve run out of AND. Best I can do is:

(Real NOR Real) NOR (Gay NOR Gay)

Without a pic how do you know

I feel so much more normal for just saying hello to my shower spider now.

[–] MBM@lemmings.world 8 points 16 hours ago

I do the feeding thing, but mostly because it feels wrong to kill a mosquito and then just throw it in the trash

[–] FreshLight@sh.itjust.works 47 points 2 days ago

Be careful, though! This is the first step towards what anon describes!

My shower spider gets a reminder of our deal.

"You know the drill. You stay up there, I stay over here, nobody has to be injured today."

Sometimes the spider decides to come over to my side and gets flushed or squished, but they knew what was expected of them.

I have one of those who knows her place. She’s been there for probably a year now, and I don’t feed her so she must be doing something for me.

She briefly had a friend of the same species set up shop on the other side of the shower. That one didn’t get the memo and decided to wander all over the place while I was showering, breaking the pact. That one went down the drain. The other is still there, months after that event.

Real talk: people that save spiders and make it a moral thing confuse the heck out of me.

Like, if you were the spiders size proportionally to the spider, it would web you up and suck your blood for being in its home...

You're being humane and grounded with a handle like that, are you good? Like can I get you a drink or anything?

[–] FATALRPG@sh.itjust.works 3 points 14 hours ago

My hyperfixation with a rape simulator doesn’t mean I want bad things to happen in the real world.

I even save wasps - I fed a dying one until she was strong enough to escape once.

[–] hex@programming.dev 8 points 21 hours ago

Yeah, but we have the mental capability of understanding what the spider is, and that it won't eat you, nor do you need to eat it. So why cruelly kill for no reason?

[–] wieson@feddit.org 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Living a principled life does not rise and fall with what is done to you. That would be transactional.

[–] RIPandTERROR@sh.itjust.works 1 points 23 hours ago

And yet, I feel guiltless in my murderous choice 🫶🏼

Shower spider wants to watch you touch yourself

This is one instance where I'd say I'd actually prefer if he had an anime body pillow or real doll he was forming this sort of unhealthy attachment to.

[–] Tracaine@lemmy.world 68 points 2 days ago (4 children)

He's going to let a spider crawl on his penis in the name of gooning isn't he? I really want off this ride.

[–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 3 points 18 hours ago

Bro, if it bites him he will get a spider dick that shoots webs.

[–] Comment105@lemm.ee 2 points 1 day ago

The Spiderbro thing should have never started, now see where it has gotten us.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 19 points 2 days ago

Whatever, more for me

[–] Iheartcheese@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago

It happened long ago. Closer to you than you think

[–] qyron@sopuli.xyz 49 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Loneliness affects people. And as gregariois animals we are, the closest possibility to connect, in any form, is taken.

[–] latenightnoir@lemmy.blahaj.zone 25 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Y'know... as lonely as I can get (and I get pretty lonely), that mosquito munching on my forearm is still getting a firm slap. Eventually.

[–] qyron@sopuli.xyz 15 points 2 days ago

Fight malaria when you can!

[–] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 14 points 1 day ago

What a freak!

Just fall in-love with AI like a normal person.

(I can't even do that, I literally can't see AI as people)

Least weird greentext I've read for a while.

[–] Zagorath@aussie.zone 20 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I had a daddy longlegs in my bathroom for a while. My bathroom exhaust fan broke so the room would get super steamy, and I think the poor spider drowned, because it had clearly died in that spot, hanging from my ceiling.

I still feel a little sad about that spider-bro.

[–] CitizenKong@lemmy.world 17 points 2 days ago

Probably didn't drown but might have gotten infected by mold. There's a reason spiders prefer dry places.

[–] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 19 points 2 days ago

Look, everyone tries to fuck shower spider at some point. It's a rite of passage
